Labelled 'ariel booster supply' with suitable fuse...can't see why not. Better with a FCU, though, fused accordingly.

Non-standard plug and socket? Use them myself for under cabinet lights (off lighting circuit) in kitchens.

I've come across a few 'professionally' installed standard 13A sockets on 5A or 6A domestic lighting circuits, usually when they have started to be used for something more than intended, and the occupier can't understand why something is tripping. One recent one was a high-up TV socket, when they bought a bigger TV. Another recent one was a regular-looking socket in a bedroom, and the cleaner got a new bigger hoover.

So would a fcu be ok regs wise, dedicated for the aerial booster.

The lighting cct would be an easier option than the ring in this circumstance

Already been said, a FCU labelled accordingly or labelled non-standard socket so other trades cannot mistake it and/or use it.
